FROSTY SNOWMAN

FROSTY THE SNOWMAN QUILT

Nothing like a cozy quilt for a chilly winter afternoon.

Frosty the Snowman

Frosty the Snowman was a jolly happy soul.
With a corn cob pipe and a button nose and 
Two eyes made out of coal.
Frosty the Snowman is a fairy tale, they say,
He was made of snow, but the children know how he 
came to life one day.

There must have been some magic in that old silk 
hat they found.
For when they placed it on his head, 
he began to dance around.

Oh, Frosty the Snowman was alive as he could be,
And the children say he could laugh and play
just the same as you and me.

Thumpety, thump, thump, thumpety, thump, thump.
Look at Frosty go.
Thumpety, thump, thump, thumpety, thump, thump.
Over the hills of snow.
~Author Unknown

I love the coziness of this quilt. From all the snowman prints to the flannelette backing it calls snuggling. 

I won these penguins at a BC supper. It was cool enough for them to wear toques.

Welcome to my world.

CAPE BRETON XMAS QUILT

CAPE BRETON XMAS QUILT

This is another of my Xmas gift quilts. The pattern came from Irish Quilting magazine. As soon as I saw the pattern I knew I had to stitch it.

This happy Santa has so much character

This could easily become another quilt. Loved the pattern.

Twelve Days of Christmas

Twelve Days of Christmas

 A few years ago I stitched Xmas quilts for my sisters. 

I called this quilt "A Song for Mary"  because she knows the words to so much music and this song seemed right for her. 

The Twelve Days of Christmas" is an English Christmas carol that sings of a series of increasingly grand gifts given on each of the twelve days of Christmas. It was first published in England in 1780 and traditionally began the first day after Xmas ending with the Epiphany on January 6.

The modern Twelve Days of Xmas needs a Santa to bring old traditions together in this quilt.
